Hi everyone,
My name is Elly Dunbar and I live in Thurso on the far north coast of
Scotland. I am married with 2 children Kirsty (17) and Lewis (20).
He is in Devon working as a chef at the moment for a few weeks, but
otherwise for the moment lives at home. I keep eying up his bedroom
for a sewing room.
I've been quilting for well over 10 years now and belong to a small
house group called the Kross Kounty Quilters. (We thought we'd better
leave the Q for quilter)
We have an exhibition coming up shortly from 17th to 22nd Sept if
anyone happens to be on holiday up here. In the Swanson Gallery.
I'm currently working on quilt called the Rabbit Patch. I've got as
far as the borders and was waiting for some green fabric but when it
came it was the wrong shade. So back to the drawing board with that
one. I should just go search through my stash for something else. I
did have a FQ of thimbleberries so checked on the internet for the
same pattern not realizing there were two shades of green in the
pattern. I wanted the light and got the dark. May go with it yet.
Some other fabric is on it's way so I'll hang fire until it comes
before making a final decision. Just hope it hurrries up.
Well I suppose I'd better leave it there for the moment... look
forward to 'meeting' everyone.. Elly

Thank you for the welcome Estelle, so glad someone is getting some
sunshine! It's chucking down here all day since yesterday afternoon. :

frequent the place. I hope he hasn't poisoned anyone . Elly

Hi Elly!!! Welcome to the group. Pull up a chair and join the quilters at

Hi dlm, Amy and ME Judy, thank you for the lovely welcome. Got the
RP to layering up stage, must do that tomorrow and get it quilted and
bound this weekend!! Then I'll take a picture. The quilting will be
to secure the layers by stitching in the ditch on the machine. But I
hope to add hand quilting it at a later date. Need to be able to hang
it at our exhibition next weekend... but I'll not have time to get it
hand quilted by then. I'm very chuffed with it. My favourite bit is
making the blocks. The rest is a necessity to finish the quilt. Elly
